Amazing Italian Dining!

“I had a fantastic dining experience at the on-site Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh herbs grown right there on the back patio. It definitely outshines typical chain restaurants like Olive Garden. The meals were flavorful, and I can't forget the very nice service, made our dining experience even better!” view full review

My stay at Grand View Lodge was impressive, from the luxurious accommodations to the friendly staff. I particularly enjoyed the upscale dining options and the vast hotel features. However, I found the breakfast buffet to be quite average and the prices at one restaurant overly steep.

I had an overall enjoyable stay at Grand View Lodge, with highlights including the friendly staff and a fantastic breakfast buffet. However, the experience was somewhat marred by the construction noise around my accommodation and a couple of service issues in the dining areas. The lodge's scenic environment and range of recreational activities made up for these downsides, making it a great spot for families.

I had a reasonable time at Grand View Lodge. The scenic surroundings and friendly staff stood out, but my cabin had an odd smell, which was quite off-putting. Also, some improvements in cleanliness would enhance the experience. Overall, it's a lovely place, but I think the value could be better for the price. 🌲💔
